<p>The Office for Students has delegated responsibility, from the Secretary of State
for Education, for monitoring compliance of the Prevent Duty in the higher education
(HE) sector. The latest Office for Students monitoring report shows high levels of
compliance, with over 97% of universities and other HE providers having due regard
for the duty.</p><p>Under this delegation, the Secretary of State asked the Office
for Students to move towards a more risk based monitoring approach, ensuring resources
are targeted where most needed. The Office for Students updated their monitoring framework
to reflect this, which took effect in September 2018.</p><p>The Government provides
direct support to the sector on implementation of Prevent through a network of ‘further
education / higher education’ (FE/HE) regional co-ordinators who work directly with
higher and further education institutions, and provide them with the advice, support
and training they need to build their and their students’ resilience to extremism
and radicalisation. There is also published Government guidance for the sector on
Prevent implementation. The Home Office has regular discussions with the Department
for Education on the implementation of Prevent in the higher education sector</p><p>
